Residences outside of the collection service area are responsible for their own waste disposal. These residents can choose to utilize the services of a local contractor or dispose of their own garbage at the landfill transfer station. A typical residential load, being the back of a pick-up, loaded with domestic garbage would be $5. Please refer to our Landfill Tipping Fees and Regulations Bylaw No. 69, 2012 for further information on guidelines and fees associated with using the landfill.
